Writing By Heart

On his podcast, David Naimon spoke with poet Morgan Parker about her new collection, There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé. It’s a book “at the intersections of mythology and sorrow, of vulnerability and posturing, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence,” Naimon says. (Bonus: Parker’s book was recently featured in Nick Ripatrazone’s list of five poetry collections you should buy.)

Remember when Chipotle started publishing famous authors like Toni Morrison, George Saunders, and Neil Gaiman on their cups and burrito-toting bags? Well, now’s your chance to join them. The fast-food chain is holding a contest for student writers, and the prizewinning responses to the prompt “write about a time when food created a memory” will be printed on those same cups and brown paper bags across the country. Oh, and there’s a $20,000 scholarship, too.
